I took my mom to the new
IKEA in Tampa while I was down there. I would love to have an IKEA house - I don't think there is one thing I wouldn't like from that store (including the food - their sweedish meatballs are so good)! Well, I'll never be able to afford to have an IKEA house, but I did pick up
this cute shelf unit for $19.99! I put it together in about 15 minutes and got out my finished stitching that had been hiding away in my closet. I put the unit near my stitching spot in the living room, so I can look over and see it. These pictures aren't the greatest because I don't have good lighting in my living room, but you get the idea...
Well, I didn't get any stitching done yesterday. It was a lazy day for all of us. I did go to the grocery store, that was about it. Bradley, my nine year old, has started liking Harry Potter. We listened to the first book on the way down to Florida and he really liked it (I did too). I got him the 2nd and 3rd books yesterday and he's already on chapter four. I'm so happy he's a reader! Anyway, I hope to get some stitching done today! Write soon!
Oh wow, Nicole, what a sweet little display shelf! I love how you have everything set up. Each section is a treasure trove of stitching. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love IKEA so much - the closest one is about 30 minutes away, on a good traffic day. LOL We have SO much IKEA stuff and never can get enough of it. Great display you have done there!!!
ReplyDeleteTanya, who is now craving those Swedish Meatballs - oh are they sooooooooo good or what!!! yummmmmmmm
I love what you did with that display shelf! What gorgeous things, and all beautifully displayed! IKEA is great, isn't it? My sister and BIL are IKEA people. :D I'm glad your son is a reader too. My daughter is a reader, but not my son, and I regret that hugely.
ReplyDeleteHow cute! It looks great and really showcases your work.
ReplyDeleteNicole I am with you on the IKEA house,,I love everything there,,and your self is beautiful...and the price is great to,,thanks for the picture..have a great week..
ReplyDeleteIsn't it inspiring to be able to see your finished projects while you stitch? I love your shelf!
ReplyDeleteI love your display Nicole, so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteOh, your display shelf is just wonderful and you have everything displayed so beautifully. I confess, I have never been in an IKEA store. We do not have one anywhere near us but on our next road trip I am determined to visit a store.
ReplyDeleteThe shelf unit is perfect. Love the display. You do such beautiful work, it is a shame that they were hidden away. I love IKEA too. There is one close and it is hard not to walk away with half the store when we go. lol We do just go for dinner just to get the yummy meatballs. Had to buy the mixes to make at home to tied us over. Enjoy the week and Happy Stitching!
ReplyDeleteIkea is so much fun!! You really can customize it for whatever--in this case cross stitch!
ReplyDeleteCan't say I like everything there; but I sure like the 59 cent dish towels I bought there last week! ;)
i love your new shelf and how you displayed everything. I am going to be getting a shelving unit as well, someday here but i need it with glass. I live in AZ and it is the desert you know, so very very dusty.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your beautiful stitching displayed like it is on your new shelf! I need to get mine more organized like you have! I didn't stitch this weekend either. We spent way too much time outside i the heat working. Jerry is building me a beautiuful frame for Ida Mae Crow to take into my LNS next Saturday out of exotic wood. A lady wants to see it in there. The wood is so beautiful already as he has made grooves with his router. He is matting as well. I will send you a photo when done. Glad you had a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteYour shelf is so cute! Your work looks beautiful displayed like that - must be an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteThat's so lovely! What a great way to showcase your treasures!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to go to IKEA, but I'm thinking that I must brave the hour drive and make a visit soon. I've heard so much about the place (and the Swedish meatballs. Such an excellent find and I love your display.
ReplyDeleteLove how you've displayed all your lovely stitching on your new shelves...fabulous eye candy!
ReplyDeleteA lovely display.
ReplyDeleteOh, I like your little display shelf and you decorated it so nicely. I may have to go to IKEA and see if I find a treasure of my own.
ReplyDeleteGreat display :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a pretty shelf and even prettier stitching!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your shelves, Nicole, and I especially love all of the stitching that is on them! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back and had a good time!
What fabulous pieces on your new shelf! Great idea.
ReplyDeletethat is a really pretty display of all of your stitching. I would love to see your samplers you have stitched. I think one time you counted them on your blog and there were about 90 finishes! One day you'll have them all framed and hung and what a wall that will be!!!
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is so pretty and I really enjoy your blog

What a great shelf unit and such a good price! I love how you've displayed your needlework on it. So lovely to have them on show instead of hidden away somewhere. Great job, Nicole! :)

ReplyDeleteWhat a great little shelf to hold all of the beautiful stitching.
